Rams playoff ticket prices skyrocketed thanks to Cowboys

For fans planning to attend the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional-round game on Saturday night, Cody Parkey’s missed field goal was a costly one. The two may seem unrelated, but with Chicago losing to the Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys will now be heading to Los Angeles instead of the Bears.

While many fans are happy that the Rams get to avoid the Bears, those waiting to buy tickets to the divisional round will be forced to cough up more money. Rams ticket prices shot through the roof after it was determined that the Cowboys were coming to town with the cheapest increasing by more than 100 percent.

The power of the Cowboys: Cheapest playoff priced ticket, on StubHub, seconds before the Cody Parkey kick:

It’s not just the get-in price that’s skyrocketed, either. Some fans on StubHub are trying to get $5,000 each for tickets in the lower level. At the time of this post, there were four sets of tickets listed for $5,000 – the best being right at midfield in the second row.

There were also seven other sets of tickets priced at $2,000 or more and at least 50 listings upwards of $1,000 each. The cheapest ticket available was in the Upper Endzone, Row 77, for $325. In other words, one of the worst seats in the house.

According to TicketIQ, the average price of $806 is even higher than a potential NFC championship game at the Coliseum, which would be against the Eagles. That’s how badly people want to see the Rams and Cowboys square off.

So while a lot of people refuse to call the Cowboys “America’s Team,” it’s hard to argue against numbers like these. The Rams just have to hope the Coliseum is filled with more L.A. fans than those from Dallas. Otherwise, that perceived home-field advantage will be non-existent.
